And your point is...
I still pay $30 gal for Byrons gen2 20%
$12 1/2 gal for Byrons gen2 30%
$24 gal 30% (Not too many nitro racers around here)

I found this seems really cheap but there is less nitro. Its good for economy bashers. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...l-Four-Gallons

For 4 gallons you cant go wrong. Price/performance but hey I never bought that brand before.

That's priced really low. How much is shipping and the HAZMAT fee? Anyone have experience with that fuel?

Thanks.

For that price, it'll end up costing pretty much the same if I were to purchase by the gallon at my LHS.

With that kind of prices it makes sense to buy a 1/5 scale gasser

It's good fuel. I know a couple people that love Werks fuel. Only one way to find out though.

I pay about 32 bucks a gallon for Maxys Fuel 30% Nitro at my LHS. Pretty reasonable I guess.
